Technical Data

Residual Risks

• Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
• Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
• Health damage from hand-arm vibrations if used for prolonged periods or not properly guided/maintained.

Before Starting the Equipment

5.1 Charging the battery (Fig. 2)

Connect to a power supply (DC 5V, 500mA to 2000mA), such as a mobile phone charger, USB port, or power bank (output 5V DC).

The LED indicator will illuminate red when charging and green when fully charged. The battery takes approximately 3.0-5.0 hours to charge, depending on the power supply output current.

For safety reasons, the battery cannot be charged while the tool is in use. To ensure long service life, recharge the battery promptly. Recharge when power drops or performance decreases. Never fully discharge the battery pack.

Warning! The switching devices installed on the tool are not to be removed or bypassed, as this may result in injury and the tool may not switch off automatically.

6. Operation

Clear the area to be cut of stones and other solid objects. The safety lock-off prevents unintentional starting.

Warning! The blades continue to move for a few seconds after the tool is switched OFF. Turn OFF the tool and wait until the blades come to a complete stop before adjusting or cleaning.

Caution! Never touch the blade rail while the tool is in operation and be aware of the sharp edges even when the grass and shrub shears is not in use. Do not touch the rotating blades.

Switching on (Fig. 3)

Activate the safety lock-off by pressing it and pressing the ON/OFF switch (3) simultaneously.

Switching off

To switch off the equipment, release the ON/OFF switch.

6.1 Cutting grass

Allow the grass cutter to glide above the ground. The best results are achieved when the lawn is dry. Recharge the tool immediately if you notice a drop in cutting performance to prevent the battery from becoming fully discharged.

6.2 Trimming hedges

The tool can be used to trim small hedges and shrubs. Hold the tool slightly tilted in relation to the hedge. Cut the sides from the bottom up, then cut the top. Watch out for foreign objects that could damage the blades.

Best time to trim hedges:

• Deciduous hedges (lose leaves in autumn): Trim in June and October.
• Evergreen hedges (do not lose leaves): Trim in April and August.

6.4 Changing the blade (See Fig. 4-7)

⚠️ Warning! Risk of injury! Remove the safety key from the tool before changing blades.

The tool is equipped with two interchangeable blades:

• Shrubbery blade (5) is used for hedges and shrubbery.
• Grass shear blade (1) is used for grass and hedges where finer detail is required.

To fit or change the blade:

1. Hold the grass shear & shrubbery trimmer by the top.
2. Press the blade release button and pull down the blade rear box. (Fig. 6)
3. Press the blade release button again, insert the desired blade into the base of the motor housing until the blade rear box locks into position. (Fig. 7)

7. Cleaning, maintenance

7.1 Cleaning
